Natural Grass Lawn: The Benefits

As one of the most experienced landscape gardeners West Lothian has to offer we know the value of natural grass. We work with it every single day, moulding it, shaping it, working with the natural turf with our hands. Because we love it so much, we’ve decided to dedicate this week’s blog to the benefits of natural grass, and why you should appreciate that little (or perhaps not so little) heavenly patch of grass outside your kitchen window.

What Can Grass Do For You?

Firstly, every plant will take in carbon dioxide and then convert it via photosynthesis into simple sugars. Oxygen is released into the atmosphere, and depending on the size of your lawn release a fair amount of oxygen, enough for a whole family to breath. So, natural grass can counter the greenhouse effect, especially in urban areas, trapping tons of dirt and dust which is good for you and the environment.

Cooling Effects of Natural Grass

So, as well as improving air quality, natural grass can also cool the surroundings by offsetting solar heat by evaporating it, and with cooler air temperatures you’ll feel cooler too. As well as that, natural grass can help purify rainwater by breaking down pollutants, cleaning it before it goes into drainage systems, rivers and streams.

Natural Grass Helps With Stress

And how about the fact that green spaces like your lawn can help improve with stress and wellness? It can help lower blood pressure and help you to feel less anxious. In fact, greenery, plants and trees, a general view of nature in fact, is what helps patients recover quicker in hospital.

Helps With Noise Pollution

Natural grass can help reduce noise and sound pollution by at least 8 decibels and if you live in a noisy area, such as near a busy road, then this is essential.

Natural grass can also reduce glare from reflective surfaces with the different shaped blades reducing the glare and reflecting light so you can enjoy being outdoors much more.
